Why Choose the ABB MBZ161 Meter Plate Expansion 1PW?
The ABB MBZ161 is a modular meter mounting plate expansion kit designed for ABB CombiLine electrical distribution systems. Supplied under ABB order code 2CPX041821R9999, this unassembled interior fitting module is intended for meters with three-point attachment and provides a structured solution for incorporating intermediate metering into compatible low-voltage sub-distribution assemblies.
The MBZ161 provides capacity for two meters within a single 1 PW field and includes head sections above and below the meter mounting area. It is intended specifically for intermediate metering applications and uses a separately ordered WR mounting frame. Depending on the surrounding installation, suitable partitions may also be required to separate the meter section from adjacent modules.
With a 5 GU / 750 mm height and 1 PW / 250 mm field width, the MBZ161 provides 60 space units. Plastic covers with 90-degree press-and-turn closures and a RAL 7035 finish provide a clean installation, while the module is suitable for cabinets from 225 mm depth.

Structured Metering for Distribution Systems
Meter mounting plate modules provide a dedicated area for integrating electricity meters into low-voltage distribution assemblies. The ABB MBZ161 accommodates two meters with three-point attachment and is intended for intermediate measurement, making it suitable where individual circuits, sections or downstream installations require separate energy measurement.
The 1 PW format allows the metering section to be integrated efficiently alongside other CombiLine modules. With head sections above and below the meter mounting area, 60 space units and compatibility with the WR mounting system, the MBZ161 provides a structured solution for professional sub-distribution panel construction.
Typical Applications
- Electrical sub-distribution boards.
- ABB CombiLine distribution assemblies.
- Intermediate electricity metering.
- Three-point meter installations.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
- Building services and energy distribution panels.
